TD calls for urgent action vs Dublin ISIS branch

Kermit.de.frog

Didn't see a thread on this but some weird stuff has been said in the Dail down the years rarely weirder than this!

Sometimes you do have to wonder whether Father Ted was a fictional comedy or a real life Irish documentary:o

More often then not these days i'm inclined to think it's the latter.

What a moron. The only word I can think for that man based on that clip.

Arsemageddon

Michael Lowry, Mattie McGrath and now this fvckwit whose name I don't know.......

.........I'd say it's time we stopped giving Tipperary the right to vote.

Can we charter a plane to Iraq so he can get a first hand glimpse of who Isis are and how he can 'deal with them'?

DarkyHughes

Send the IRA's South Armagh brigade in to sort them out

Seriously how do these moron get into these places of power. Does he even have a clue what a socialist is? If this mans ideas rule this country than god save Ireland because he would cause a revolution, probably a very bloody one.

He's the type of reason I'm confident we (Sinn fein) can form the next government.

To think that this clown Noel Coonan is an elected TD is farcical.

gladrags

It has now hit the headlines in the Times and Sindo.

wendell borton

But what has it got to do with irish water, has ISIS issued a fatwa on them?

Putinovsky

I don't think he was comparing them to ISIS.

mikemac1

He's popular around Templemore & Roscrea

Alan Kelly, Michael Lowry & Noel Coonan, do North Tipp hold the record on returning fools to the Dáil

Not a completely invalid comparison.

There was a thread earlier about an IQ test to be eligible to vote. However I think there should be some sort of test to be a TD:

IQ
World affairs
Irish history/consitution
Geography
Economics
Maths
English
Other optional modules

They are on there way for the 10th December protests. Instead of taking the new road I hear they are taking the road around by Southern Yemen.:pac:

I don't think so,they are not that foolish

Times...

"A Fine Gael TD has claimed the State is facing “what is potentially an Isis situation” if anti-water charge protesters are allowed to continue with their demonstrations.
Speaking in the Dáil on a motion on water sector reforms, Tipperary North deputy Noel Coonan said some of the protesters in Dublin wanted to “act like parasites” and “live off country people” who had paid for their water over the years."

CrazyRabbit

I don't know who should be more embarrassed, the TD or the people that voted for him.

Banjo String

The dope prob misinterpreted all the public negative feedback on not funding "Irish Water prophets"

Paul Murphy's crew made an attack on Government.
I know a lot less extreme than ISIS,but you could see his thinking albeit mad as a brush.

Coonan from TIPP.... THE same county that gave us Lowry, and we all know what he was doing... feathering the nest

Standing in front of a car isn't a less extreme version kidnapping and beheading aide workers. Honestly if people can't see that then there's no helping them.

Joan Burton got inconvenienced for a while, had an egg thrown at her. Disgusting I agree, protests should be peaceful at all times, they've shown they can and are working.

Isis however, among many barbaric pastimes they partake, one is cutting the heads of civilians, and innocent aid workers.

So, eh no I couldn't.

Mint Aero

He's dead right, lets take away the peoples right to protest :rolleyes: What's he suggesting I wonder? martial law perhaps? Is that what the comparison to ISIS was about? Is he saying that the Irish people should be executed if they protest? I really can't understand that thick accent...

It comes across as though he's threatening protestors

Holsten

Doesn't actually scare you that this man, and many other like him can have such control over our lives?

Madness.

Not a bad idea to be fair

EganTheMan

What the hell was he talking about? Is Paul Murphy in ISIS?

I have to agree with him about Paul Murphy & Co's carry on last weekend - disgraceful . . .

I wonder would ISIS pay their water charges?

Ranchu

He's only helping one side with an opinion like that.
